This function is going to ruin my life...
I started at 8:10pm, when it opened. And for the past four hours, I have been glued to my laptop, hanging around with the core group of SomeGuy, Sangome, and timechaser. Floating around, hijacking rooms, and then telling SG to go start a room. We inadvertently created the most popular room thus far.
Ah, it's fun...
Even at the tender age of sixteen, I am feeling rather old when it comes to today’s anime fandom. I sigh whenever the youngins at school tell me they went to their first con when they were eleven (I was fourteen). I cringe whenever I see that a ...

In a few weeks time, I will have the ability to add "car" to the list of expensive things I own. ("Own" being a term meaning 'I drive it and put gas in it').
Cars go through an inheritance pattern in my family. My oldest brother, now 25, was eventually given/bought-from-my-parents the 1996 green Honda Civic. He puts it through normal young adult male abuse (and upgrades, IE, giving it a SECOND set of headlights!) before getting his own car and, well, moving out. My second brother, age 19 (soon 20) inherits said Honda before getting in a fender bender and somehow "totaling" the car.
It wasn't his fault, but I blame it on him because said accident put a major hole in my plans of inheritance.
So in need of a new car, my parents went out and bought a silver 2008 Honda Civic. (We have owned a total of three of these throughout the years.) Brother gets the gold 2000 Toyata Camry, which, when we first got it, I had said it would be my car when I was driving. Sigh. Anyways, Kat is subjugated to sharing the black 2004 Toyata Camry (notice the pattern of car-types in this family) with her mother.
However! My brother will soon be buying a car (July is the end of the model year, blah blah), which means...yes...my forecast I made eight years ago will come true, and I will get the golden Camry.
Guess what my dilemma is. NAMING IT, OF COURSE. *mauled* The first name I thought of was Hunny (ala Ouran), but then I was like "mmm...". Then I hopped over to Momiji. Then, after toying with my thoughts again, I remembered that I could ALSO call it Mitsukuni. And it would work, because one of the things I bought at ACen last year was a car sticker with the Ouran school logo. (The other sticker, that I bought this year, says 'My other car is a flying bison'.)
God I'm a dork.
I love the laptop so very very much. The only beef I have with it is the location of the left Ctrl key. -_O
Right, since theO resizes images and makes text impossible to read on said images, I'm just going to point you in the direction of the photo I took and put on DA. Okay, so...yeah. There's zeh lappy known as Piers.
Maybe I've just had sub-par computers in the past, but the fact that I can brwose the interwebs, chat with my peeps, be working on a CG in Photoshop, listen to music via the Zune player and, for some bizarre reason, watch a DVD in Windows Media Center - all at the same time - makes me go "8O".
A couple of reviews I read brought up the weight of the laptop, which is about 6 pounds. My response is "If that's heavy...than you're a wuss..." However, the construction is very solid, rather than making use of cheap plastic. So that's probably going to account for some mass.
Would I recommend it? Yeah. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so happy with it. >>;
